Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 201 Do you mean I should wear this?

"Yutong, slow down and see if there's a place to park on the side of the road."

Lin Xi's tone was urgent and fast, which startled Liang Yutong, who subconsciously followed her instructions.

Liang Yutong found the location, which was about a hundred meters away from the Tianhong Pavilion.

"What's wrong?" Liang Yutong followed her gaze. "Why are you staring at the little girl?"

Lin Xi said, "Doesn't the adult standing next to her look like Uncle Duan?"

Liang Yutong took a closer look and said, "His build is about the same, but he's wearing a mask and it's nighttime, so I can't be sure."

The man, dressed casually, teased the little girl standing to the side with affectionate and practiced movements.

Lin Xi patted Liang Yutong: "Let's go."

Liang Yutong started the car again and didn't ask any questions along the way until they arrived at the garage of Tiandu Yuxi.

"What's going on?" Liang Yutong looked at her. "Is he really Duan Mingxuan's father?"

The situation was somewhat complicated, and Lin Xi, unsure of what to do, could only shake his head at Liang Yutong.

She recognized the little girl; they had met twice before. But Duan Zheng being with the little girl...

Lin Xi simply couldn't believe it.

"I'll tell you later," Lin Xi said. "Keep tonight's events a secret for me."

Liang Yutong nodded: "Okay."

Back upstairs, Lin Xi didn't turn on the lights and simply lay down on the sofa.

What is the relationship between Duan Zheng and An Qi? Is the mother An Qi is looking for Ke Yu?

If Anqi is Ke Yusheng's daughter, then her father is Duan Zheng?

This news was too heavy for Lin Xi. Considering her relationship with Ke Yu, it was reasonable for her to have this suspicion.

She couldn't lie there any longer and called Duan Yiheng.

When they received the call, Duan Yiheng and Meng Huaishan were leaving Zheng Jiayi's private club.

Duan Yiheng answered the phone immediately and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Xi said, "Are you done with your work? I have something to tell you."

It was almost midnight, and Duan Yiheng hadn't planned to go over, but after hearing what she said, he changed his mind: "Then I'll go over now, in twenty minutes."

Lin Xi agreed.

For the next twenty minutes, she didn't know how to confess to Duan Yiheng.

But she couldn't stay silent; she had no one to investigate the relationship between Anqi, Duan Zheng, and Ke Yu.

Twenty minutes later, Duan Yiheng arrived at the Imperial Seal of Heaven.

Lin Xi wrinkled her nose in disgust as she welcomed the person into the house.

Duan Yiheng said, "Shall I go take a shower first?"

Lin Xi nodded: "The smell of smoke and alcohol is too strong."

As Duan Yiheng walked, he said, "Please help me get my clothes down; I'll put them on when I come out."

Go touch it now, so your pajamas don't get smelled of smoke and alcohol.

Lin Xi went to the dressing room, took out the pajamas he had left there, and put them away. She then went to the cabinet drawer to get him some underwear.

Fearing Lin Xi would find it distasteful, Duan Yiheng took a long time to bathe.

When Lin Xi came out of the bathroom wearing only a half-length bath towel, she pointed to the clothes on the bed and said, "Over there, put them on yourself."

Duan Yiheng chuckled softly, "If I don't dress myself, do you expect me to dress you?"

Lin Xi choked for a moment, and after a long while said, "Get dressed and come to the living room."

She didn't sit on the sofa, but instead sat down on the floor mat in front of the French windows.

Duan Yiheng sat down beside her, looking out at the night sky, which was as black as silk.

"What do you want to tell me?"

Lin Xi looked at him: "You know that Tiandu Yuxi and Tianhong Pavilion are close to each other, right?"

Duan Yiheng was completely confused: "I know, so what?"

Lin Xi suddenly grabbed his hand: "I saw someone who looks a lot like Uncle Duan at the entrance of Tianhong Pavilion today. It was dark at the time, and I thought it looked like him, but I couldn't be completely sure."

Duan Yiheng was taken aback: "What's he doing there?"

"Do you remember the little girl I told you about before? The one I almost bumped into. I saw her again the other day when I was picking out a gift for Sun Wenxin."

Duan Yiheng's face darkened: "You saw Duan Zhenghe, this little girl?"

Lin Xi hummed in agreement: "Her name is An Qi. She lives alone in Tianhong Hotel with her nanny."

Duan Yiheng wasn't stupid; he immediately had the exact same guess as Lin Xi.

"I'll have someone investigate tomorrow." Duan Yiheng looked at Lin Xi and ruffled her hair. "Don't overthink it."

Lin Xi leaned on his shoulder: "If that's really the case, what would you think?"

Duan Yiheng sneered: "I will make all his plans and ideas fall through."

Lin Xi leaned against him without saying a word.

If Duan Zheng and Ke Yu really had an illegitimate daughter, then the child would also have inheritance rights.

It seems there was a bigger reason why Ke Yu and Duan Zheng joined forces to suppress Duan Yiheng.

Taking over the company for the sake of the children makes the reason even more convincing.

Lin Xi looked up and saw Duan Yiheng's chin. She raised her hand and touched it: "It must have been Ke Yu's idea to have Uncle Duan announce my marriage to Duan Mingxuan directly in front of the media."

Duan Yiheng said, "If Anqi is their daughter, then they are one. No matter who came up with the idea, this debt will have to be settled sooner or later."

Lin Xi sighed: "If Grandpa knew..."

I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Anqi is, after all, a living, breathing person. It's understandable that her grandfather would be reluctant to let her go. However, Duan Zheng disregards his reputation, and if their affair is exposed, it will most likely affect the company's development and operations.

“This is the path Duan Zheng chose himself, and he will bear the consequences, whether it’s good or bad,” Duan Yiheng comforted Lin Xi. “No one is holding a knife to his throat; he’s incorrigible.”

"How was your meeting today?" Lin Xi decided to change the subject. "Did Zheng Jiayi meet with you in person?"

Duan Yiheng nodded: "I don't meet just anyone. Since I'm going, I must see her in person. She has been fighting with Ke Yu for so many years, and she has some dirt on Ke Yu that is not good for him, but it can't play a big role."

He just needed a member of the Zheng family to step forward. Once Ke Yu lost, he needed someone from his family to negotiate with him.

If An Qi's identity is confirmed, it will be a dead end for Ke Yu and Duan Zheng.

He needed to find someone to collect samples as soon as possible. This was an unexpected event for Duan Yiheng, but it wasn't a bad thing; it could even give him complete control.

He now had leverage in negotiations, whether from Duan Zheng or the old man.

Lin Xi nestled in Duan Yiheng's arms like a boneless creature. She had already taken a bath today, so she didn't chase him away.

The Imperial Seal of Heaven is most famous for its privacy.

Duan Yiheng put his arm around her waist and picked her up in his arms: "I'm taking you to sleep."

Lin Xi leaned against him and said, "He's really sleeping."

"Fine," Duan Yiheng said, "I'll let you go tonight."

Lin Xi simply ignored him and closed her eyes.

If you request an expedited paternity test, the results can be obtained within two days, but sample collection takes some time.

Duan Zheng and Ke Yu's samples are easy to obtain. Sister Mei can take care of Duan Zheng's samples, and Zheng Jiayi can take Ke Yu's samples.

According to Lin Xi's description, Anqi is usually closely watched by her nanny and bodyguards, so we need to find a safe way to deal with her.
